Bug#227474: ssh: Message 'No value for $TERM and no -T specified'

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org>]

Package: ssh
Version: 1:3.6.1p2-11
Severity: minor

I often get the following message with ssh:

greux:~> /usr/bin/ssh -T greux true
No value for $TERM and no -T specified

However, I specified -T! Even when $TERM is defined, I get this message.
